CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Riders on an eastbound Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority train were stuck inside for about an hour Friday evening due to a mechanical failure.

The Red Line train halted around East 29th Street and Kinsman Road, said RTA spokesperson Pat Kearney. The train was heated. Kearney said she did not know many people were on board. The failure occurred around 7:30 p.m.

Kearney said the weather did not cause the mechanical failure.

Because the problem area was close to other RTA rail lines, all lines experienced some delays, Kearney said. The Red Line was reduced to one operating lane while repairs were made.
